An Art Book by David Leffel

An Artist Teaches is a magnificent presentation for painter and non-painter alike containing a gallery of more than 140 color reproductions of recent work. Paintings are presented in total—key details are pulled out to show this master’s work “up close and personal”.

An Art Book by Sherrie McGraw

In her new book, master draughtsman and famed instructor Sherrie McGraw shares her understanding and insight into The Language of Drawing. The first of its kind, this book teaches drawing rather than anatomy and enables the reader to grasp the fundamental elements of drawing necessary to create beautiful works of art from life.
